Fitoterapi, hastalıklardan korunmak ve tedaviyi desteklemek amacıyla bitkisel ekstrelerden yararlanılan bir tedavi biçimidir. Eski çağlardan beri hep merak konusu olan bitkilerin özellikle de şifa amaçlı çokça kullanıldığı bilinmektedir. Günümüzde çeşitli hastalıkların tedavisinde kullanılan birçok medikal ilacın kökenini bitkiler oluşturmaktadır. Mevcut ilaçların, tedavi yöntemlerinin kronik hastalıkları tedavi etmedeki yetersizliği hem hastaları hem de sağlık profesyonellerini alternatif tedavi arayışlarına yöneltmektedir. Bunlara ek olarak bitkisel ekstrelerin konvansiyonel ilaçlara göre yan etkilerinin daha az olması, ekonomik, ulaşılabilir olmaları modern tıp tedavilerinde kullanımlarını yaygınlaştırmıştır.
Diş hekimliğinde fitoterapiden bitkisel ekstrelerin sağladığı antimikrobiyal, antiinflamatuar, sedatif ve anksiyolitik etkiler nedeniyle sıkça yararlanılmaktadır. Ağız yaraları, halitozis ve diş eti hastalıklarının tedavisinde bitkisel ektrelerin antimikrobiyal ve antiinflamatuar etkilerinden yararlanılarak gargaralar kullanılabilir. Piyasadaki mevcut gargaralarla karşılaştırıldığında oldukça başarılı bulunan bu gargaralar; renklenme, tat hassasiyeti, acı tat gibi yan etkilerinin de olmaması nedeniyle bitkisel kaynaklara olan ilgiyi daha da artırmıştır. Bitkisel ekstrelerin antikaryojenik etkileri sayesinde çürük oluşumu önlenebilir, ağız ve diş sağlığı korunabilir. Kök kanal tedavisi uygulamalarında irigasyon ajanı, kanal içi medikament olarak kullanılabilen bitkisel ektreler faydalı bulunmuştur. Bunlara ek olarak fitoterapiden; cerrahi uygulamalarda kanama durdurucu, yara iyileşmesini hızlandırıcı etkilerle yararlanılabilir.
Bu derleme kapsamında ağız ve diş sağlığı alanında kullanılan bitkiler ve bu bitkilerin dental tedavilerdeki yeri hakkında bilgi verilmesi amaçlanmıştır.

Phytotherapy is a type of treatment that involves the use of botanical extracts to prevent and treat diseases. Plants, which have always piqued people's interest since ancient times, are widely employed, particularly for medicinal purposes. Plants are now the source of numerous medical medications used to treat a variety of ailments. Patients and health professionals alike are seeking alternative treatments due to the insufficiency of present medications and treatment approaches for chronic disorders. Herbal extracts are also more often used in current medical therapies since they have less adverse effects than traditional medications, are less expensive, and easier to obtain.
Phytotherapy is commonly utilized in dentistry because to the antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, sedative, and anxiolytic properties of herbal extracts. Mouthwashes can be used to treat mouth sores, halitosis, and gum diseases by utilizing the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of herbal extracts. These mouthwashes, which are highly successful when compared to other mouthwashes on the market, have boosted interest in herbal sources due to the absence of adverse effects such as coloring, taste sensitivity, and harsh taste. Caries production can be prevented and oral and dental health can be safeguarded thanks to the anticariogenic actions of herbal extracts. In root canal treatment, herbal extracts that can be employed as irrigation agents and intracanal medicaments have been discovered to be beneficial. In addition to this, it can be employed in surgical applications with bleeding-stopping and wound-healing properties.
